This is the view of Houston at night from the International Space Station.  Orbiting 212 miles above us, the station snapped this high resolution picture last night (3/16/10).  Over the next few nights, you can see the station as well.  Here's a listing of the sighting opportunities:

Friday's fly-over will be quite brief even though skies should be clear enough to see it.  Saturday, clouds and rain will make it tough.  Sunday's fly-over is too brief and will be missed by most.  The best chance to see it will be Monday; with clear skies and a five minute window; it should be easy to spot.
